The Four Seasons Hotel Denver launched its summer series of poolside cocktail parties by hosting Take Flight with SaddleUp!, a gathering designed to generate support for SaddleUp! And Pack Your Bags: A Denver Suitcase Party.

That event, to be held Aug. 8 in the AeroColorado hangar at Centennial Airport, is the signature fundraiser for the Elizabeth-based SaddleUp! Foundation. SaddleUp! provides equine-facilitated activities and other therapies for individuals with mental, emotional and/or physical challenges.

Executive director Adam Daurio reminded everyone that if they attend the party, they need to come with bags packed because two lucky couples will jet off that night for a luxury weekend spent in the California wine country.

There will also be silent and live auctions and musical entertainment.

At the pool party, guests enjoyed cocktails, conversation and the chance to buy tickets or sponsorships. In addition, there was a fashion show of Suitcase Party-appropriate attire introduced by Tracy Bozarth, co-founder of Dandizette magazine.

The hotel’s series of poolside parties are a goodwill gesture where select nonprofit organizations can invite friends and supporters to enjoy fellowship in a pleasant surrounding, while raising some money for their respective causes. Tickets to each party are $30, and each organization gets to keep 100 percent of the proceeds.
